Let's say you are out for some drinks at the bar, are you the kind of person who would take a man home without him knowing that you are transgendered, and would you make them have to find out the 'hard way' (for a lack of better word)?

No, that wouldn't be honest of me. It's best to be upfront.

Are you interested in finding a sexual partner? If so, how do you approach this? Have you ever had intercourse with a man?

I am not a virgin, I have had sex. I just let sexual partners happen in the sense of meeting people in life, they learn of me and they simply ask me out, or I may ask them out. I just let things flow.

Do you plan on getting the penis removed and finishing the 'entire surgery' or whatever you would call it?

As of the moments, no plans to.

Do you find it is harder to function in society when people are aware that you're transgender?

There are very few people who offer hostility towards me luckily, it's more so liberating.

After hormone therapy, does your body naturally start producing the appropriate hormones (By that I mean levels of testosterone/estrogen on par with what you'd expect from a CIS female)? Or do you have to either continually remain on the therapy?

As far as I know, it takes chemical castration for the male hormones to stop completely. It's quite a long process, but as of the moment my hormones are dominantly female.

does this thing gave you problems at school in the past? (just like getting offensive jokes from your schoolmates)

It wasn't a big issue, not as big as it could have been. I did have some grief.

coke or pepsi?
do you find that AMAs are always subject to dumb, small talk-y questions like these? what is your opinion on them?

Is that directed towards me? This isn't my AMA thread, so I shall not answer such questions here if it is.

i was quoting your post as an example of the kind of questions i was talking about in that last thing i said

Ah. I'm mainly asking those kinds of questions partially to be a smartass (Ask Me Anything, after all), but mostly to make her feel comfortable with some slightly normal questions, so there's my excuse for doing it.
And to also figure out what kind of ice cream I should buy them on the off-chance we ever meet up in real life somehow.

What characteristics of the male identity do you feel are at odds with your own self image?
Do you feel those male characteristics, of which I assume you feel you don't associate with, are a manifestation of society, or your own determination of what is essentially "male?"
Was your motivation for changing your projected image of gender to distance yourself from those characteristics in the eyes of those around you?
If I'm being intrusive, feel free to tell me to fuck off.

So, being from the UK, is the overall climate towards gender/sexual equality any different than it is here in the states? By that, I mean, is there a huge push for LGBT rights and opposition like there is in the USA?

Also at what age did you finally get together with your parents and medical professionals to start transitioning into female?
